New Here and Here is my Ride

First Ford I have owned and so far I am pretty impressed overall.

First things first.

Where do I get the Pulley do bring up my horses slightly and then Where at from there?

I am also from Missouri so if anyone is here local give me a shout.

Peace

The SVT

Nice truck man i like the smooth step covers.

i wouldnt replace your stock pulley unless youve done some extensive work under the hood. such as intake, 65mm throttle body, new mass airflow sensor, maybe a Hypertech thermostat and a few other bolt on's. but If you do replace it tho id go with a Johnny Lightning pulley and get the Diablo Predator sport tuner so you can get it running right.

Unfortunately most of that is incorrect. The factory intake flows well enough for a 4 lb. pulley, although most replace it anyway. He does not need to replace his throttle body, a/f sensor or thermostat to run the pulley either. The most important thing is to get a good tune, preferably on a dyno. I know with my 4 lb. pulley I had to add a MAFia since my MAF was close to "max"ing out.

stock trucks are fine for a 4 pound pulley with proper tuning. I would replace the stock filter with a K&N, then add a 4 pounder and tune it properly on a dyno. The mail order tunes are too risky.

With good weather, you should have a 12 second truck.

Welcome,

Nice color choice too!

IMHO do some research here on the boards, there is a ton of information available, just search first and if you've been talking to some of the local guys in your area their experiences may help guide you. Find a good tuner locally or maybe a short drive away.
